Frequently Asked Questions

ORSC™ stands for Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching™. ORSC™ is an integrated and robust coaching model based on Relationship Systems Intelligence™.

Beyond Emotional Intelligence (relationship with oneself) and Social Intelligence (relationship with other) is the realm of Relationship Systems Intelligence where one’s focus shifts to the relationship with the group, team or system.

This approach creates sustainable and resilient teams (organizations) and families.

ORSC™ is based on Systems Theory, Process Work, Family Systems Therapy, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Quantum Physics, Co-Active Coaching™, and Taoism. At its core is the study of Relationship Systems Intelligence.

Jungian scholars might call it a collective consciousness, business consultants refer to corporate culture and therapists address family system dynamics. The Third Entity is that which lives outside the individuals in a particular relationship system whether a work team, family, or couple. Still confused? John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were individuals. The Beatles is their Third Entity™.

The ORSC™ Program is a tools-rich program for any individual or organisation that recognise and want to build on the value of building conscious and intentional relationships and partnerships. Some of our ORSC™ Program graduates include coaching practitioners, team leaders, Agile professionals, Scrum Masters, consultants, business owners, HR / OD / L&D professionals and more. 

​

The ORSC™ Program offers skills and tools to develop relationship and systems coaching and leadership skills, and can be used to enhance an individual's scope of work and pool of existing and prospective clients. These skills and tools are also applicable in personal relationships as well. The modules are useful for anyone who who needs to work skilfully with others, be it teams, groups, partners, couples, leaders and organisations.

Both ORS@Work and Fundamentals are based on the same set of skills and principles. Fundamentals is geared more toward personal coaching, therapy, or social work applications.

​

ORS@Work has been designed specifically for OD, HR, business coaching or consulting applications. In ORS@Work scenarios are contextualised specifically for the workplace. Participants in ORS@Work are generally managers, team leaders, or HR/OD staff.

​

ORS@Work is also designed for the team leader in mind where the team leader already has an agenda and coaches their team towards that agenda. 

​

In Fundamentals, participants experience the tools from both a business and personal perspective. Fundamentals is geared more toward personal coaching, therapy, or social work applications.

Either course works as standalone training, or as the first module of the five required to attain ORSC Certification.

​

For in-person courses: There are no in-person programs until further notice.

​

For virtual foundation courses: We only offer ORSC Fundamentals at the moment.

For the APAC region, we offer a Complimentary Immersion Session (post-Fundamentals) to integrate the context of Fundamentals into the organization. It is an optional session where we will provide you with the opportunity to utilise the language of the coach, and if needed, the language of the team leader / consultant. 

We also share how we can utilise these tools face to face, so that participants can access 2 formats of coaching. We find that participants in the consulting, Agile, and OD space have found the Immersion session to be very useful after taking Fundamentals.

For coaches, understanding how systems work adds an essential and highly relevant advantage. When coaches work with their clients, they will need to know how to work with the systems they exist in, too. With ORS@Work, coaches are able to help their clients flourish when they are better able to thrive in their relationship systems.  

Coaches can also benefit from gaining: 

1. Powerful and practical tools in the area of change & conflict management 

2. A compelling model for understanding & working with relationship systems 

3. 12 Continuous Coach Education Units (CCEUs) 

4. The opportunity to upgrade from individual coaching to business, executive & team coaching  

5. An advantage by boosting their scope of coaching & work with a larger pool of clients 

Yes, you may still enrol in the Intermediate Series with CRR APAC. We will require some documentation of your ORSC™ Foundational module course completion.

We do not offer refresher courses. However, we do offer the opportunity for module graduates to volunteer their time and assist course leaders. For example, if you have completed ORS@Work/ORSC Fundamentals, you may request to be an Assistant for subsequent ORS@Work/ORSC Fundamentals modules. This might allow you to refresh your memory on ORSC™ concepts. Allocation of Assistants for all modules will be made at CRR APAC's discretion and may be subject to change.

The ORSC™ program is a series of five modules and each module is a pre-requisite for the next. Each must be taken in sequential order because the content builds on the previous module.

At the moment, we offer all courses virtually.

The analogy that we like to use is that ORSC™ is an operating system upon which other applications, mental models and approaches can be reinterpreted. Once our students make the paradigm shift from engaging individuals to the entire group (what we call The Third Entity™, a whole new world of opportunities emerge. Many students report great satisfaction because what they’ve already learned and used in their work is even more effective when coupled with ORSC™ principles.

The experiential nature of ORSC™ makes it a practitioner's go-to. It combines the fields of coaching, facilitation, OD and change management - bringing focus to the team dynamics and process for change.

ORSC™ is also known particularly for its strength in combining theory (the mental models) with application.
